NON Mopar dream car. What would it be?

-
Most of my "Dream" cars are Mopar (the obvious, Superbird, Hemi Cuda, etc.), and I had some nice Ford and GM iron back in the day, so I guess I already own my non-Mopar dream car, my supercharged 2012 GT Mustang. It has a big Kenne Bell blower on the 5.0, makes 600 to the wheels and runs 10's all day long banging gears through the really crappy MT82 6 speed.

Another tough question. I'll go with either a 68-70 Chevelle 396 4 speed or a 67 Fairlane 427.
But I'm happy with my 93 Mustang Notchback. Loads of cheap fun.
 
I think I would like another 1970 Camaro. had one as a teenager.
Lost my innocence in that thing, had a blast, and a lot of great memories.
Then it was just a 16 yr old used car, that needed fixed up. Now I think I could work wonders with it.
 
1929 ford pick up slammed rat rod style 1967 gt500 mustang , or a 1973 toyota celica gt fastback with a Mopar power plant of course
 
64 R-Code 427 Ford Galaxie 500XL preferably in Rangoon Red.

or

70 Boss 302 Mustang

or

Jaguar E-Type

or

Triumph TR6
 
76 Porsche

I've always had a sweet spot for 1970 AMX's with a 390 and a shadow mask. This one doesn't have the mask but it is a sweet looking car.

My brother had this one

Never owned one but I hear the 312 4 barrel bird was a dandy driver and having room for just 2 people would be fun :D

I have always wanted something with a wicked azz 351C motor. Probably an early Maverick.

I like the small bumper Mavericks too. Those or the 1970 Torino. The Torino reminds me of a 71 B body with the curves.
Not a Ford guy here, but I do like those cars. I owned Chevys for years, but if I had to go NON Mopar, I'd be interested in a 70-73 Trans Am. I love the styling and they are great handling cars. I had a 76 Camaro with a 350, 4 speed, 3.42 Posi and a Trans Am suspension. That was a fun car to drive.

Hey Mike :D. When I was a Plumber back in the mid 70's, my superintendent restored 50's Fairlane's and early Bird's as a hobby. He eventually quit the construction trade and went full time with his shop. He did some award winning cars, and I got to drive a few of them. The 312 Y block engine was not a real powerhouse, but in the lightweight T-Bird, it was a really nice package. Along with the status that those cars had, it was a wonderful experience to cruise one down the road.

I always wondered about there engines they used Rick, a friend of mine had an old Ford truck with the 312 engine in it with an automatic and it screamed the 1/8 mile with a 2 barrel, must have been the gears but it was quick :D
The one in the picture I took was from the great American race this year :D
 
71 or 72 240Z (on my second 72)
57 Ford Thunderbird 312 with the paxton and 4 speed (3 speed with overdrive) (dad's first car)

Cool to see your dad enjoying a cool car, looks like the apple did not fall far from the tree =D>
 
I'd go a Falcon Hardtop ( red & black is an XA, blue one is an XB), or an XW/XY Falcon GTHO ( fastest 4 dr production sedan in the world in 1971-2)....all powered with a 351C, and toploader and 9".

I bought my dream car 4 years ago. It was ugly yellow when I brought it home and I had to actually replace every peice on it. But the results turned out fantastic. Ive been honored with a calendar pic for 2014 in the C3VR vette calendar.
